At my place of work (grocery chain) we get random items for free (we'll get a text saying "starting X you get X free"). To get your items for free you swipe your card and that is it.
I went to store of same name in Different Town and went through a 10 items or less line with my free rice and pretzels. Both the cashier and bagger where obviously special needs (tone/body language was "off", probably Autistic). Next to them was a trainer/job coach who would, when needed, help them out a little. The checker seemed to be higher functioning then the bagger (made eye contact, spoke to customers, etc) and seemed be doing a good job.
The transaction:
Ezio:Me
Checker
Both of us do the customery "Hi" and she starts scanning the items. I swipe my card and the total goes to zero.
C:You need to swipe your card.
I hold up my store card.
E: I already did. These items are free.
C: But it says to swipe your card.
E: I work at store in X town and we get these items for free.
C: Oh, okay.
She finishes the transaction and the bagger puts them in a bag. Neither one of them is in anyway sucky, its the job coach.
The bitch is giving me the "Glare of Death". Not saying a word, just glaring. I don't know if it's because I threw a wrench in their training (greet customer, scan items, do coupons/savings card, customers pay, give receipt, the end.) or she was having a bad day. But, jeez, as I was walking out I could feel her eyes on my back the whole way.
